@rodhilton I now get this. Google does recognise Kenya again. Phew!

But read the description of Kenya. Then look at a map if you need to. This is not great.

A Google search of 'countries in Africa that start with k'. Top result says: Kenya is located on the eastern coast of Africa and borders Somalia to the northeast, Tanzania to the north, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the northwest, Ethiopia to the southwest, and Somalia again on the southern border.

@rodhilton It has been wisely pointed out to me that I wrote 'countries'. If I put 'country', I get the 'Kenya isn't spelt with K but K' one, 'countries' gives the list of wrong information.

Not sure which is worse?

@RolloTreadway@neurodifferent.me @rodhilton@mastodon.social hmm, i do get the other bad result, with the same search phrase as yours.

(trying to figure out who it is that google is trying to fool, and who gets to be spared - spoiler: it's everyone who gets fooled)

google search: "countries in africa that start with k". top result: "While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter 'K'. The closest is Kenya, which starts with a 'K' sound, but is actually spelled with a 'K' sound. It's always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this."
